I believe Fatukasi has to sit a minimum of the first half for being ejected, interesting to see what HCBD does with him; minimum or whole game?

Must be for disciplinary reasons. If so, good call by Diaco.

He had no choice. NCAA rules for thrown punch.

He had no choice. NCAA rules for thrown punch.

Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know if it's a suspension for the first half of the next game no matter when a punch is thrown, or is that only because it happened in the 4th quarter?

1st half of next game. No matter when he is ejected in the game the punch was thrown....at least I think that's the case.

 

[gioff23]

If he had thrown it in the first half, he would have been ejected for rest of game and allowed to play this week.

I, for one, expect to see Adeyemi sliding down and Ormsby playing more during first half

After further review, you appear to be correct.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

If I were the coach he'd be in street clothes the entire game.

About 25,000 tickets have been sold so far for Saturday's #UConn/Army football game

 

[ATLDYKA]

Excited to be heading up from Georgia on Friday to catch the game. A 25 year reunion of a bunch of us from 2 North McMahon. We will be buying tickets on game day so we will be adding to that total.

 

[Dogged]

I'd cut one of his nits off.

That, or Myers starting alongside Campenni inside? The back-up to Fatukasi is Sean Marinan, the son of the Xavier coach and walk-on. It will be interesting to see how the snaps are divided in the first half.

I was thinking Myers as well. He gets a lot of snaps behind the other 2.

Either way, i hope the drop off inst too severe

Should be a good walkup crowd - weather reports are perfect. Just bought an extra myself for the 3-year old.

 

[Devland]

That would help recruiting. lol

By my math, just 11 players who saw the field for #UConn vs. Army are back while Army lost more than 30 players
http://runwayramblings.blogspot.com/2015/09/uconn-hoping-last-years-army-game-will.html

>>There are plenty of numbers to be crunched from last year's game but the ones that stand out to me are 25/58 and 46/57. That is a breakdown of the Army players who were listed on the participation chart in a season-opening loss to Fordham compared to how many played against UConn last season and then the same ratio for UConn. Yes, by my math only more than twice as many Army players are gone from the group that beat UConn from a season ago between graduation and injury.<<
